Sir
Stratford May 31-1824. -
Mr Tomlinson, of Congress, lately enclosed to me the commission in the case of Isaac Durand, applicant for an increase of his pension - which is now returned with a correction of the mistake, in the beginning, made by order of the District Judge -
Mr Tomlinson also wrote me that the original certificate by virtue of which Durand drew his pension must be transmitted to the pension office - but Durand states that he never had such a certificate & that his payment of his pension was refused at Middletown, for the first time in Septem r last, for want of such a certificate - He is very old & infirm & may have lost it or forgotten whether he ever had one - It is however a notorious fact that he has been many years a pensioner & has rec d his pension-money regularly until Septem r last -
For his sake I should be glad to learn from you what must be done to ensure him his pension & to procure its increase for the short time his life will last -
I am, with great respect,
Sir, Your obed t Serv t -

We the undersigned physicians & Surgeons both of Huntington in the County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, authorized as within mentioned to examine Isaac Durand, the invalid pensioner herein named now an applicant for an increase of his pension, and to report our opinion of the nature of his disability, and in what degree it prevents him from obtaining a subsistence by manual labor, do report that we have this day examined the said Isaac Durand for the purposes aforesaid and find that said invalid has a wound on the left arm, near the insertion of the Deltoid and origin of the triceps, Extensor cubiti muscles, affecting the motion of these muscles, so far as to prevent him from elevating and extending the arm with facility and in a great degree diminishing its strength and natural powers of motion, generally, and thereby in our opinion incapacitating him for obtaining, by manual labor - more than one quarter of his support, & for the reasons we the deponents say not. Huntington January 3 1824
On a reconsideration of the case we would further state, that inasmuch as Isaac Durand, through the infirmities of age, he being upwards of eighty years old, is unable to gain any part of his support, and that he is entitled to any benefit thereof -
